​
| (1) | During the third quarter of 2019 and fourth quarter of 2021, the Company, through two separate joint ventures in which it owned a 90% interest in each and that were previously consolidated, completed the construction of and opened for operation a store located in Waltham, MA and a store located in Newton, MA, respectively. On September 6, 2019, the Company acquired the 10% interest of the noncontrolling member in the venture that owned the Waltham, MA store for $2.6 million. On December 14, 2021, the Company acquired the 10% interest of the noncontrolling member in the venture that owned the Newton, MA store for $3.4 million. Prior to these transactions, the noncontrolling member’s interest in each venture was reported in Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries on the consolidated balance sheets. Since the Company retained its controlling interest in each venture and the stores are now wholly owned, these transactions were accounted for as equity transactions. In each case, the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest was reduced to zero to reflect the purchase and the difference between the purchase price paid by the Company and the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest was recorded as an adjustment to equity attributable to the Company, with no gain or loss recorded. This adjustment was $2.0 million for the Waltham, MA store and $2.7 million for the Newton, MA store. The $10.5 million related party loan extended by the Company to the venture that owned the Waltham, MA store and the $13.2 million related party loan extended by the Company to the venture that owned the Newton, MA store were repaid in conjunction with the Company’s acquisitions of the noncontrolling member’s ownership interests.
​
| (2) | These stores were previously owned by four separate consolidated joint ventures, of which the Company held a 51% ownership interest in each. On June 25, 2019, the noncontrolling member in the venture that owned the Bayonne, NJ store put its 49% interest in the venture to the Company for $11.5 million. On September 17, 2019, the noncontrolling member in the venture that owned the Queens, NY store put its 49% interest in the venture to the Company for $15.2 million. On September 29, 2020, the noncontrolling member in the venture that owned the Brooklyn, NY store put its 49% interest in the venture to the Company for $10.0 million, of which $1.0 million was paid in cash. The Company issued 276,497 OP Units that were valued at approximately $9.0 million as consideration for the remainder of the purchase price (see note 12). On June 29, 2021, the noncontrolling member in the venture that owned the East Meadow, NY store put its 49% interest in the venture to the Company for $6.6 million. The cash payments related to these transactions are included in Development costs in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
​
| (3) | This store is located adjacent to an existing consolidated joint venture store. Given their proximity to each other, the stores have been combined in our store count, as well as for operational and reporting purposes (see note 12).
​
| (4) | This store is subject to a ground lease.
